What are you most proud of?
The fact that it is my first ever purse....
I did everything including the lining myself...
The handles get the most compliments though....
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
The handles I made are not the handles included with the pattern.
I chose to make the flower removable in case it was too much.
The instructions are well written, and there is also a video on YouTube that takes you through the pattern stitch by stitch if you prefer... don't be scared of the stitch...

This is so beautiful! Brilliant choice of colors. I agree, that stitch isn't bad once you get your head wrapped around the concept. Thanks for sharing!

Xta-Kat answered:

The fact that there is a video to go along with the pattern is fantastic as well! Right from the slip knot all the way through. Thank you so much for the compliment! It's been such a hit!
